Overview

Brain imaging, or neuroimaging, is the set of techniques used to visualize the structure, function, and connectivity of the brain in living subjects, providing a non-invasive window into normal neural organization and into the changes produced by disease and injury. Structural methods such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging depict anatomy and detect lesions, hemorrhage, infarction, tumors, and atrophy, while functional approaches, including functional magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and electrophysiological mapping, capture patterns of neural activity and metabolism. Functional magnetic resonance imaging, for example, can localize processing in regions such as the visual cortex and reveal how sensory and cognitive tasks engage distributed networks. Brain imaging is central to the diagnosis and study of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including stroke and lacunar infarction, traumatic and hypoxic injury producing reversible or irreversible cerebral damage, infectious and inflammatory disease, and neurodevelopmental and degenerative disorders. It supports both clinical assessment, by identifying the site and extent of pathology, and research, by relating brain structure and activity to behavior, cognition, and disease mechanisms. Advances in acquisition and analysis continue to refine spatial and temporal resolution and to enable quantitative characterization of tissue and networks. As a core tool of neuroscience and clinical neurology, brain imaging underpins understanding of how the brain works and how it is affected by disorder.
